CSStyle.me - CSS Generators for Developers
CSStyle.me is a web tool I developed to simplify developers' lives, allowing visual generation of CSS code for common elements (box-shadows, filters, inputs) and converting Tailwind classes to standard CSS. The goal is to streamline the creation of custom styles without manually writing CSS code.

Challenges
Development of a Visual CSS Code Generator
I implemented a CSS code generator that allows users to create styles visually. This involved designing an intuitive and easy-to-use interface, as well as handling the logic to convert user selections into CSS code.
Style Customization
I developed features that allow users to customize their CSS styles according to their needs. This includes the ability to adjust properties like colors, sizes, and effects visually.
Cross-Browser Compatibility
I ensured that the CSS code generated by CSStyle.me is compatible with major browsers. This involved extensive testing and adjusting the code as needed.
Implementation of Style Saving and Real-Time Preview
I implemented a feature that allows users to save their generated styles and preview them in real-time. This enhances the user experience by allowing them to see how styles are applied without needing to reload the page.
Learnings
Through the development of CSStyle.me, I learned about code generation, delved deeper into CSS, the importance of an attractive user interface, and the need to simplify complex processes. This project has allowed me to apply my React knowledge, as well as explore new technologies to improve the user experience.
